Batters generally aim for a higher exit velocity in order to give opposing <a href="/wiki/Baseball_positions" title="Baseball positions">fielders</a> less time to react and attempt a defensive play; however, many batters are still able to accrue <a href="/wiki/Hit_(baseball)" title="Hit (baseball)">hits</a> without a high exit velocity. A pitcher will attempt to limit the exit velocity on the opposing batter's contact in order to allow the fielders or themself a better chance at making an <a href="/wiki/Out_(baseball)" title="Out (baseball)">out</a>. </p><p>Exit velocity was first tracked by <a href="/wiki/Major_League_Baseball" title="Major League Baseball">Major League Baseball</a> (MLB) in 2015 with the introduction of <a href="/wiki/Statcast" title="Statcast">Statcast</a>.

In 2015, MLB introduced <a href="/wiki/Statcast" title="Statcast">Statcast</a> technology to all 30 of its ballparks, in part to track exit velocity. The league released its initial data the following year in a summary of the 2015 season's statistical notabilities. Throughout the 2016 season, more aspects of exit velocity were gradually rolled out to fans. MLB launched Baseball Savant in 2016 to provide fans easy access to exit velocity and other Statcast-recorded data.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="External_factors">External factors</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Exit_velocity&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: External factors"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Ballparks">Ballparks</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Exit_velocity&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Ballparks"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Since every MLB stadium has its own unique set of dimensions and intricacies, there has been an observed ballpark-to-ballpark difference in exit velocity stats despite attempts to curtail it.
